Growing Kind Hearts Collection

Book One

The Choice Inside Me

A gentle exploration of personal growth for young readers, guiding them through the everyday moments of choice and the journey of becoming their best selves.
 

Follow Emma, Maya, Leo, Harrison and Hudson (twins) and their friends as they navigate the moments that shape growing up- friendship, worry, mistakes, courage, kindness, emotions, gratitude, and more.

Through each story, young readers are invited to recognize their own experiences, talk about what they’re feeling, and discover that even when they can’t control what happens around them, they can choose how they respond.
